The Skit DVD

Harrison and I have been working on the Skit DVD quite a bit the last couple weeks. I didn't post about it earlier cuz I figured you all would be thinking I was crying wolf. So I waited until I had something to show you from our labor. Behold!!! The Skit DVD box cover!!!

So that's it more or less. It's not trimmed on the top and bottom to the appropriate dimensions and the yellow lines that mark the edges will be removed. The text might change a little bit. I'm not exactly sure how many skits we have on there, but I'm pretty sure it's more than 25. So if you're familiar with the skits, you'll probably notice that alot of the pictures aren't from skits. That's cuz I don't have alot of good pictures of skits, but trust me that the pictures definitely represent the spirit of the skits. Also every person on the cover has been in a skit at one time or another. Many people are in there more than once although their appearance varies quite a bit from picture to picture for the most part. Also some people should be on there but aren't. Sorry, I didn't have a picture of you and the time on this project was just waning too long. I wish I could be more diverse but I had to work with what pictures I had and I was running out of pictures near the end. I'm just glad I was able to do the whole box.

Anyways, I know it probably looks really crude and unprofessional, but that represents the skits best. We did some hilarious stuff with what little we had to work with and that adds alot to our humor. You may find it hard to believe and even laughable, but this cover art took me like over 30 hours to make. One reason because I did the first version backwards and had to start over, but that made the second version look alot better as I got more ideas as I went along. This totally blows away the time I took 3 hours to make a simple title shot for Signs of the Apocalypse. I saw that movie the Aviator over the weekend. Howard Hughes spent 4 years to make the movie Hell's Angels just right and spent 4 million dollars, the most expensive movie ever made at the time. I would have to say I am borderline OCD when it comes to making this stuff. I just keep getting ideas as I go and everything has to be perfect just like I see it. This is why Signs of the Apocalypse took 6 months to make when it was supposed to take 3 weeks (weekends only). Even after all that, there is alot of stuff I would change in Signs of the Apocalypse now, but I've put it to rest. And so it shall be for the Skit DVD as well. This is the Platinum/Ultimate/Special Edition aka Only Edition.

Anyways, Harrison finished the menus and all the content is on the DVD so we're just testing it now. We should be done in a couple weeks. That includes time to figure out packaging and labeling and most important of all distributing. Anyways, click on the picture to see it bigger. Hopefully you'll be able to read the text.
